Map of proposed facilities changes
by Erika Owens on Nov 03 2011 Posted in Latest news
This interactive map, created by Michelle Schmitt in conjunction with PlanPhilly, shows schools affected by proposed facilities changes. The District proposed a package of school closings, grade reconfigurations, and other changes to reduce excess capacity in the District by 14,000 seats.
With the map you can view an overlay of City Council districts, as well as see details for schools that have been recommended to close or undergo grade reconfigurations.
Earlier this year, we also created a map of all District facilities as part of our edition on school closings.
We're working on developing additional ways to help you access and digest data and other District info, so please let us know if you have suggestions on how to improve the map or other data we could map or add to this map. Also, please leave a comment or email us if you find any errors on the map. Thanks for your help in making these improvements possible.

You need to make a MAJOR correction. E.M. Stanton's SPI is 2, NOT 10! Our SPI for the 2010-2011 school year was 2 and there is a very good chance that we will be a 1 this year! Please correct this as soon as possible!
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your responsiveness and for correcting the error. E.M. Stanton is a great school and should remain open! The District will be making a mistake if they close this school.
